bmark_us_mar06.gif When it comes to buying and playing video games on a mobile phone, many people have tried it -- but few ever try it again, according to Seattle-based M:Metrics who released a report yesterday. [via The Washington Post]

"The report found that prices, choice and lack of interest were the biggest factors that have kept cellphone video game sales from growing in the United States.

Less than 3 percent of cellphone users are buying and playing games on their phones -- and that number hasn't grown much in recent months".

More in Press release.
